social networking: Real Estate Video Blogging - Who's making it work? - 08/11/10 02:29 AM
Seeing as this is about video blogging I've recorded a video instead of writing about it! Makes sense really. In the video I discuss examples of where video blogging is working successfully and wonder why I can't find any estate agents that are really making it work for them. Am I missing something here? … (4 comments)
